Hello,

I bought my current sytem on advise from WarriorScot and it's bloomin' marvelous, cheers mate. At the time I didn't have enough spare cash to buy a graphics card and initially the onboard ATI x300 did the job. But that was then and now I want to game!

I'm leaning towards a Sapphire X1600 Pro 512MB DDR2 (PCI-E) and my budget is £100. Any comments on this card or other recomendations would be most welcome.

Thanks, Dango

Hey,

I would hold off till the summer releases are done before you buy a new gfx card as the new ones will be DX10 which is gonna be really good. x1600s are ok but not great i usually prefer ATI but the 7600GTs are a good deal they have a few disadvantages but they run at insane clock speeds to compensate.

Hey Warrior,

Yeah, I read the other posts. Sorry to have asked the same question. I'll look back in a few months to see what you guys say is the best of the new breed.

Take it easy, Dango

Keep in mind, from what I hear you will also need Windows Vista to upgrade to DX10 (as far as the readings I've read explained).

I hope this isn't true because I don't really want to switch OS's just to get the latest graphics card But just throwin it out there. If I'm wrong, someone correct me please

You wont but you need Vista to use DX10 features and software, you would still be able to use them using dx9L.
